Mr. Padgett then introduced Mr. Howard Openshaw, Director of Urban Redevelopment of the Atlanta Housing Authority. Mr. Openshaw then introduced Mr. Robert Barnett, Project Dir ector of Vine City, to present the NDP plan. Mr. Barnett first explained the georgraphical lo cation of Vine C ity. The boundaries being: Northside Drive on the East, Simpson Road on the Nor th, Griffin Street on the West and Hunter Street on the South. He also stated t hat there are approximately 154 acres, with 900 families and 3, 500 individuals locat ed in the Vine City area. Mr . Barnett stated that the fir st thing s that were done in Vine C ity was to form a local committeee known as the PAC or Proj e ct Area Committe to represent �Page Two the fnterests of the citizens of the Vine City Community. He stated that the PAC holds meeting at least once a week (usually every Monday night), and that a survey was made to collect facts on Vine City; such as population, family s i ze , amount of income, heads of household, etc. The survey showed that the average income for the Vine City areas is $161. 00 a month, and that 76% of the property in the area has ab~entee landlords and 24% is owner occupied. The survey also showed _that the residents of the Vine City area wanted more shopping, transportation and community facilities. Mr . Barnett further stated that the target area for the 1970 NDP plan has already been designated. The target area, which was shown by a map presentation, has 122 structures (162 families), with 92 of these structures as major deterior ation, 9 as a minor deterior ation and only 1 standard structure. By map presentation, Mr. Barnett showed th e lay out for the 1970 NDP plan, with a 24 acre p ark, commercial area , garden type a p artments , town houses and single family residences.

Mr. Adley and Mr. Twiggs pres e nte d a slid e presentation of the g ood and bad areas of the Edgewood project. Mr . Adley str esse d that the area of Edgewood should be rehabilitated, not torn down. Four sections of the Edg ewood area have tentatively been selected for activity to start in 1970. Sammye Coan School is a good example of the type of environment Edgewood is working for in its effort to develop a better Community. Mr. Adley agreed to provide the Executive Director with a summary sheet on the Edgewood project statistics. Mr. Padgett thanked Mr. Adley and Mr. Twiggs for a very fine presentation of Edgewood. Becaus e of the time element involved, a fifteen minute presentation was given on each NDP plan and a give minute question and answer period. There was much discus sion on th e subj ect and value of rehabilitation and the accusation that rehabilitation does not l ast, because the individuals do not keep up their homes or property. Vhie-Chairman Padgett the n stated that there was not enough time for a detailed discussion on the merits of reha bilitation and suggested that the subject of rehabilitation be put on the Agenda for the n ext meeting. �Page Three Mr. Padgett called on Mr. Openshaw to p resent the overall Neighborhood Development Program for 1970 (copy attached, E nc l. 1). Attention of CACUR members was particularly called to the enclosed copy of recent letter from the Regional Office of HUD stating that HUD funding t o the Region III area is only $24,000, 000; and that this is only 45. 9% of the am unt allocated for the first year's activity for the six NDP programs now under way in Region III. In response to question from the Executiv e Director, CACUR, as to proposed activity in the portion of the Bedford-Pin e NDP area south of Forrest Avenue. {This is where the bulk of the most dilapic.ated housing is located. ) Mr. Openshaw stated that no activity is planned i n that area for 1969- 70 except acquisition of a few scattered dilapidated structur e s, requested by the Mayor. Mr. P a dgett then called on Mr. Opensha w to respond to comments on the West End Urban Renewal Project .previously s u bmitted by the Executive Committee .. Mr. Openshaw read a letter addressed t o the Executive Director, explaining the delays in many of the Urban Renewal proje cts, including West End (Encl. 2). After considerable_discussion pertaining to certa in aspects of the West End project, the meeting was adjourned at 3:30 P~ M.

First, let me say that we share t he Committee's c oncern over the length of t ime required to close out earlier pro j e c ts. However, t o imply tha t the length of time t aken t o cl ose out proj ects is due t o an apparent l a ck of aggres siveness on the part of the Authority is ludicrous . The original five urban renewal pr o je c ts have been amended f orty-two times, requi ring an additional eight million dollars from the Federal government, and resulti ng in a s t adium , expansi on of Georgia State Colle ge, additional land for s chools, parks, and neighborhood faciliti e s, acquisition of commercial properties on Ge orgia Avenue, and numerous other improvements. The average length of time inv olved in securing Fede ral approval of an amendment has been twelve months, with several requiring thirty months. A se con d ma jor fa c t or delay ing proj ect close- outs is the funding and cons t ruction of non-cash grants-in-aid. The Butler Street Project, for example, c ould not be closed ou t earlier because the proposed school was not funded until the passage of the 1968 bond issue, with construction starting in August, 1969. Even after renewal land has been sold , many developers have experienced delays caused by the tight money market, high interest rates and soaring costs. Nonetheless, projects are not closed out without spe cial effort. Re cently I established a spacial task force to identify and expedite all remaining activities to be completed in the original projects. Two of these projects - Butler Street and Georgia State - have been completed this year and are waiting fin al HUD audit. I want to assure the Committee that the Authority recognizes its respon sibility to proceed as rapidly as possible to complete the e arly proj e cts.

Jones Executive Director Citizens Advisory Committee for Urban Renewal City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr. Jones: Mr. Persells has asked me to reply to your letter of August 18, 1969 relative to the Executive Committee's concern over several features of Atlanta's Urban Renewal Program. First, let me say that we share the Committee's concern over the length of time required to close out earlier projects. However, to imply that the length of time taken to close out projects is due to an apparent lack of aggressiveness on the part of the Authority is ludicrous. The original five urban renewal projects have been amended forty-two times, requiring an additional eight million dollars from the Federal government, and resulting in a stadium, expansion of Georgia State College, additional land for schools, parks, and neighborhood facilities, acquisition of commercial properties on Georgia Avenue, and numerous other improvements. The average length of time involved in securing Federal approval of an amendment has been twelve months, with several requiring thirty months. A second major factor delaying project close-outs is the funding and construction of non-cash grants-in-aid. The Butler Street Project, for example, could not be closed out earlier because the proposed school was not funded until the passage of the 1968 bond issue, with construction starting in August, 1969. Even after renewal land has been sold, many developers have experienced delays caused by the tight money market, high interest rates and soaring costs. Nonetheless, projects are not closed out without special effort. Re- cently I eatablished a special task force to identify and expedite all remaining activities to be completed in the original projects. Two of these projects - Butler Street and Georgia State - have been completed this year and are waiting final HUD audit. I want to assure the. Com- mittee that the Authority recognizes its responsibility to proceed as rapidly as possible to complete the early projects. Fics 2 =D I share the Committee's concern over its seemingly perfunctory role of late. If it is to perform its function as outlined in the Aldermanic resolution creating the Committee, ie., advise the Mayor and Board of Aldermen and other public bodies concerned with Urban Renewal in the City, then it seems to me that it must continue to review proposed Urban Renewal activities formulated by the various project area committees with an overview of the total needs of the City. The Committee's views on pending redevelopment actions should be expressed to the Aldermanic Planning and Redevelopment Committee, as did Bob Summerville, former Committee Chairman. The Authority will cooperate in any way possible in-assisting the Committee in carrying out its function of providing guidance and direction to the City in the administration of its Urban Renewal program. : The comments pertaining to the West End Urban Renewal Project are ob- viously personal expressions of frustrations shared by the Authority. The West End Urban Renewal Project is now in its third year of execu- tion and to date the Authority has acquired 516 parcels of land (87%), relocated 57 families and 77 businesses (97%), demolished 35) structures (74%), sold or put under agreement for sale 5. acres of land (55%), and. completed rehabilitation of 50) structures (22%). In addition, the Authority has acquired and conveyed to the City 8.7 acres of land for park development, and the 1.1 million dollar Dean Rusk Elementary School has been completed. The redeveloper for the 15 acre enclosed mall shopping center is presently securing leases, with construction scheduled in 1970. In spite of the progress made to date, there are three specific areas in West End where progress has been delayed. The first is the seven acre tract adjacent to the Park Street Methodist Church. This area involves a land use change and is included in an amendment submitted to HUD on June 17, 1969. On September 23, HUD approved an Authority request to proceed with a public hearing and local adoption of the plan amendment pursuant to offering the land for sale for residential re-use. The public hearing has been scheduled for October 17 before the Planning and Development Committee. A second area involves some twenty-four acres of land in the vicinity of Lee and Oglethorpe, presently designated for office warehouse and general office use. The West End Advisory Committee had previously agreed that this area needed further study in light of the proposed location of rapid transit in the area. The third area involves the motel and residential uses on Oak Street, between Ashby and Peeples Streets. The three acre motel site was on the market for 18 months and no proposals were received. Five rede- velopers submitted proposals for 76 dwelling units on parcel 19, but the West End Advisory Committee recommended rejection of all proposals, re-study of the site in conjunction with the motel tract, and re-offer for sale. The status of the West End plan will be discussed with the West End Advisory Committee on October 1. The Authority recognizes the urgency of proceeding as rapidly as possible in each of the eight conventional urban renewal areas and five neighbor- hood development program areas in the City. I want to assure the Com- mittee that Mr. Persells and I have committed ourselves to this task while making the program responsive to human needs. -3- We pledge our continued cooperation to CACUR and others devoted to making Atlanta the great city it is destined to become.

In response to question from the Executive Director, CACUR, as to proposed activity in the portion of the Bedford-Pine NDP area south of Forrest Avenue, (This is where the bulk of the most dilapidated housing is located, ) Mr. Openshaw stated that no activity is planned in that area for 1969-70 except acquisition of a few scattered dilapidated structures, requested by the Mayor, Mr. Padgett then called on Mr. Openshaw to respond to comments on the West End Urban Renewal Project previously submitted by the Executive Committee, Mr. Openshaw read a letter addressed to the Executive Director, explain- ing the delays in many of the Urban Renewal projects, including West End (Encl. 2).

MINUTES OF THE CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR URBAN RENEW AL Directors Room Trust Company of Georgia Building Thursday, October 30, 1969 _The Reorganization meeting of the CACUR was called to order at 2:00 P. M. by Vice Chairman A. B. Padg e tt, by prior arrangement of the Chairman who was delayed a few minutes due to a conflicting engagement.

Mr. Padgett then called on Mr. Bob Bivens to give the history of the Citi zens Advisory Committee for Urban Renewal, (copies of which were passed out to those in attendance and copy is attached to the file copy of these minutes). Chairman Langdale arrived during Mr. Bivens presentation, at the conclusion of which Chairman Langda le personally addressed the group and welcomed the new members. He explained the changed role of Urban Renewal and NDP and stated that this called for changes in structure of the Commit tee and operational procedure . The importance of CACUR advis ing on Urban Renewal and NDP policy matters was �Page Two stressed. Padg_e tt. The Chairman then returned conduct of the meeting to Vice Chairman Mr. Padgett then called on Mr. Jim Wright of the Model Cities Staff to explain the Model Cities Proposed Physical Development for 1969 and 1970. Mr. Wright's presentation consisted primarily of a brochure, prepared in three components, which was passed out to those in attendance. The components were: (a) Satisfactory Community Environment; (b) Transportation; (c) Housing. Each component consisted of inte1nization of proposed projects for 1970; Proposed source of funding and brief statement as to purpose of each project but without any explanation as to the extent of each project, specific ti1ning or priorities. Mr. Wright then offered to respond to questions. There were none. Mr. Rich suggested that since the presentation was on physical development that an annotated map showing proposed projects and their specific location would be helpful. Mr. Wright responded that he had such a map which any interested person could look at after the meeting. Since State Representative John Hood, Chairman of the Model Cities Housing Committee, did not attend the meeting, Mr . Padgett asked Mr. Johnnie Johnson, Director of Model Cities, to comment on the Model Cities Housing Committee views. Mr. Johnson stated substantially that the Housing Committee of the Model Citi es area had expressed desires that the Atlanta Housing Authority take the following action immediately, so that th e Model Cities program can proceed in a manner acceptable to the residents of Model Cities: 1. That no relocation housing be brought into the Model Cities Area until it has been specifically approved (as to lo cation, type of structures and size ) by the Housing Committee. 2. That all activity of the Atlanta Housing Authority in the Model Cities Area - including acquisition of property, displacement of residents, and demolition of structuresexcept those activities in which the Atlanta Housing Authority has a l egal obligation to proceed and from which a release cannot be obtained, be immediately stopped until the problem of relocation housing is resolved. 3 . That the October 1, 1969 , offering of the Atlanta Housing Authority for the sale and development of the C-4 Peoplestown site be immediately withdrawn. 4 . That a Committee immediately be formed composed of representatives from the Atlanta Housing Authority, the Model Cities Agency and the Mass Convention, Inc . This Committee or its sub-committee to have the responsibility �7 I Page Three for working out a satisfactory relocation housing plan and an offer for the sale and development of the C-4 · site and other land in the Model Cities area. The problem of relocation housing to be given the highest priority so that other acti vi ties of the Atlanta Housing Authority in the Model Cities area can be resumed as quickly as possible. Mr. Johnson stated that the Model Cities Housing Committee was · prepared to file an injunction against the Housing Authority to stop activity until the Comrnittee views had been met. Mr. Padgett then called on Mr. Howard Openshaw , Director of Redevelopment for the Atlanta Housing Authority to comment on and explain the consequences resulting from the position taken by the Mode l Cities Housing Committee. Mr. Openshaw stated that on October 16, the newly reactivated Model Cities Housing Committee advised the Atlanta Housing Authority of three major concerns of area residents, and requested that all NDP activities be stopped until satisfactory solutions could be worked out. The three 1n a jor concerns include: (1) Rehabilitation, (2) Disposition of project l a nd, and (3) Relocation. Inas much as the Neighborhood Development Pro g ram (NDP), w hich is urban renew a l on an annual basis, was designed to respond to the needs of area resid ents, to assist them in the physic a l improvement of their neighborhoods, th e Atlanta Housing A uthority readily agr e ed to stop all NDP activities in the Model Cities Area in orde r to explore new alternatives in the direction the progr a m should take. The Model Cities Housing Committee expressed serious concerns of property owners unable to bring their properties up to the required Project Rehabilitation Standa rds, a requirement to be eligible for Federal Financial assistance. The 1968 Housing Act imposed income limita tions on families eligible for 3% direct rehabilitation loans. The Atl ant a Housing Authority has agree d to review the Project Rehabilitation Standards and the Federal regulations governing rehabilitation procedures with a resident committee in order to arrive at a solution. The Model Cities Housing Committee requested that the Atlanta Housing Authority withdraw its invitation for the sale and development of Parcel C-4 in Peoplestow n, and to prepare documents requiring the redeveloper to come from the Model Cities area. Attorneys representing the Atlanta Housing Authority and the Model Cities Mass Convention are in the process of preparing bid documents restricting the sale of urban renewal land in the Model Cities area to area residents or organizations. The third concern expressed by the Model Cities Housing Committee was the complete rejection of the type of relocation housing units proposed by the Authority. These units, designed by an architect to provide maximum liveability within the cost limitations and Federal guidelines, contained three bedrooms (two bedrooms �Page Four 8 feet by 8 feet, one bedroom 10 feet by 12 feet). The Housing Committee indicated that_r esidents would reject mobile h01n es , and would insist on pre-fabricated modular units. Mr. Openshaw indicated that the Housing Act of 1949 as amended prohibits the use of urban renewal funds for the construction of structures , that HUD guidelines specifically limit relocation housing units to mobile homes built on a chassis, without permanent foundation, easily relocateable. Nonetheless the Housing Authority has agreed to explore with a residents I com.mittee alternative solutions related to temporary relocateable housing in the Model Cities Area. Mr. Openshaw stated that a Polrcy Committee, a Relocation Committee and a Rehabilitation Comm ittee, composed of representatives of the Model Cities Agency, the Atlanta Hou s ing Authority and the Mass Conve ntion, Inc., have been appointed to seek solutions to the proble ms concerning rehabilita tion, sale of l and, and relocation in the Model Cities area, and to permit th e Atlanta Hou sing Authority to resume the 1969 NDP activities voluntarily halted on October 17. Mr. Op enshaw indicated that the two major problems confronting the Atlanta Housing Authority, the implementing age ncy for carrying out the 19 69 NDP plans for the Mode l Cities area, plans pr e p a red by the Model Cities s taff with complete resident inv ol vement, a re: 1. Conflict b etween the expressed desires of the residents and limita tions of Federal r egula tions . 2. The NDP plan for 196 9 a nd als o 1970 we r e ap proved by n e i g hbo rho:::Jd residents as well as the Mode l Citie s Executive Boa rd without b enefit of the rec e ntly activated Model Cities Hou sing Committe e I s stated objectives. For exampl e, the 19 6 9 NDP plan for the Model Citie s area designa ted four sites for p e rmanent hou s ing r e quiring the reloc ation of 278 families, 77 individua l s , a nd 10 bu sine ss concerns , a ll to be relo cat e d b e for e r e d eve lopm e nt c ould t a k e p l ace on th e s p ec ifi c s i t es involve d. To r e quir e mid-way throu g h th e cal e ndar y e ar t h a t a c quisition of land and reloc a tion of famili e s be dis co ntinu e d until suitable r e lo catabl e housing is provide within the area is to introduce a valid concept, but one that will prevent the Author ity from compl etin g the NDP p l a n within the cal enda r y ear 1969. The 1970 NDP plans, prepared by four planning consultants with involve ment of r e sident s of the six Mode l Citi e s neighborhoods, requir e the re l o cation of 6 0 9 families during the cal e nda r y ear 1970, with no vacant l and included in the ac quisiti o n program, nor funds for relocation hou s ing. While the Housing Authority will make avail abl e f or occupa ncy during 197 0 ove r 2, 65 0 dwe lling unit s for f a milies of low and mode rate incom e , th e se units a r e not l ocate d within t h e Mode l Citi es a r ea , h e n ce th e Hou s ing A uthor i ty i s once a g a in place d i n a n impo ss ible p o s ition o f trying t o car ry out pla n s a p pro v e d by th e n e i g hborh oods in conforma nc e with objectives recently e x pressed of the Model Cities Hous i ng Committee . �Page Five Mr. Op enshaw indicated that the City's NDP application for 1970 is already 30' days overdue and that the application cannot be submitted to HUD until the situation in Model Cities is resolved. Mr. Openshaw stated that the stopping of a ll NDP activities in the Model Cities area becomes all the more acute when we consider the fact that unencumbered funds for calendar year 1969 must be returned to Washington for redistributed in the national program, and that Atlanta has been advised that Federal funds for the 1970 NDP have been reduced to approximate ly 45 . 9% .of the amount allocated for 1969. Mr . Jones aske d if any substantial delay in the relocation and acquisition of sites in the Model Cities area wouldn 1 t seriously jeopardize the C ity ' s 11 Breakthrough 11 application for which sites in the Model Cities area had been offered as priority prototype housing sites, to be cleared by January 1970? Mr. Openshaw 1 s reply was that this is true. Mr. Op enshaw closed his comments with an optomistic note that he hoped the difficulty with the Model Cities Housing Committee would be resolved over the weekend and that activity in the Model Cities area could resume. Mr. Johnnie Johnson was then g iven an opportunity to comment again for Representative John Hood in rebuttal of any of Mr. Op enshaw 1 s remarks. Mr. Johnson explained that he thought the situation had arisen through l a ck of timely communication between· all elements involved and expressed hopes of a comprise solution soon. Bec ause of the time element involved, a more lengthy discussion was precluded. Mr . Padgett then asked both Mr. Johnson and Mr. Op enshaw what the CACUR could do now to assist in resolving the matter? Both seemed to think that for the time being it would be be st to await further developments. Col. Jones then presented Vice Chairman Padgett with the Financia l Statement for the period September 30 to Octob er 30, 1969, which was read to the Committee. Col. Jones then read a Resolution expressing sympathy and condolences to the family and business associates (Atlanta Life Insurance Company) of the late CACUR member, E. M. Martin. The Resolution was unaminously adopted and will be sent to the family and business associates of the late E. M. Martin. The meeting wad adjourned at 3:15 P. M.

The NDP plan for 1969 and also 1970 were approved by neighborhood residents as well as the Model Cities Executive Board without benefit of the recently activated Model Cities Housing Committee's stated objectives. For example, the 1969 NDP plan for the Model Cities area designated four sites for permanent housing requiring the relocation of 278 families, 77 individuals, and 10 business concerns, all to be relocated before redevelopment could take piace on the specific sites involved, To require mid-way through the calendar year that acquisition of land and relocation of families be discontinued until suitable relocatable housing is provide within the area is to introduce a valid concept, but one that will prevent the Authority from completing the NDP plan within the calendar year 1969. The 1970 NDP plans, prepared by four planning consultants with involvement of residents of the six Model Cities neighborhoods, require the relocation of 609 families during the calendar year 1970, with no vacant land included in the acquisition program, nor funds for relocation housing. While the Housing Authority will make available for occupancy during 1970 over 2, 650 dwelling units for families of low and moderate income, these units are not located within the Model Cities area, hence the Housing Authority is once again placed in an impossible position of trying to carry out plans approved by the neighborhoods in conformance with objectives recently expressed of the Model Cities Housing Committee. Page Five Mr. Openshaw indicated that the City's NDP application for 1970 is already 30 days overdue and that the application cannot be submitted to HUD until the situation in Model Cities is resolved.

The importance of CACUR advising on Urban Renewal and NDP policy matters was �Page Two stressed. Padgett. The Chairm.an then returned conduct of the meeting to Vice Chairman Mr. Padgett then called on Mr. Jim Wright of the Model Cities Staff to explain the Model Cities Proposed Physical Development for 1969 and 1970. Mr. Wright's presentation consisted primarily of a brochure, prepared in . three components, which was passed out to those in attendance . The components were: (a) Satisfactory Community Envirorun e nt; (b) Transporta tion; (c) Housing. Each component consisted of intemization of proposed projects for 1970; Proposed source of funding and brief statement as to purpose of each project but without any explanation as to the extent of each project, specific timing or priorities. Mr. Wright then offered to respond to q u estions. There were none. Mr. Rich sugg e ste d tha t sinc e the pr e s e nta tion was on physic a l deve lopment that an annotated map showing proposed projects and their specific location would be helpful. Mr. Wright responded tha t he had such a map which any interested person could look at after the meeting.

Thi s Committee or i t s sub-committ ee to have the responsibility �7 Page Three for working out a satisfactory relocation housing plan and an offer for the sale and development of the C-4 site and other land in the Model Cities area. The problem of relocation housing to be given the highest priority so that other activities of the Atlanta Housing Authority in the Model Cities area can be resumed as quickly as possible. Mr. Johnson stated that the Model Cities Housing Committee was prepared to file an injunction against the Housing "Authority to stop activity until the Committee views had been met. Mr. Padgett then called on Mr. Howard Openshaw, Director of Redevelopment for the Atlanta Housing Authority to comment on and explain the consequences resulting from the position taken by the Model Cities Housing Committee. Mr. Opensh aw stated that on Octob er 16, the newly reactivated Model Cities Housing Committee advised the Atlanta Housing Authority of three major concerns of area residents, and requested that all NDP activities be stopped until satisfactory solutions could be worked out . The three major concerns include: (1) Rehabilitation, (2) Di sposition of project land, and (3) Relocation . Inasmuch as the Neighborhood Development Program (NDP), which is urban renewal on an annual basis, was designed to respond to the needs of area residents, to assist them in the physical improvement of th e ir neighborhoods, th e Atlanta Housing Authority readily agreed to stop all NDP acti v ities in the Model Cities Area in order to explore new alternatives in the direction the program should take. The Model Cities Housing Committee expressed serious concerns of property owners unable to bring their properties up to the required Project Rehabilitation Standards, a requirement to be eligible for Federal Financial assistance. The 1968 Housing Act imposed income limitations on families eligible for 3% direct rehabilitation loans. The Atlanta Housing Authority has agreed to review the Project Rehabilitation Standards and the Federal regulations governing rehabilitation procedures with a resident committee in order to arrive at a solution. The Model Cities Housing Committee requested that the Atlanta Housing Authority withdraw its invitation for the sale and development of Parcel C-4 in Peoplestown, and to prepare documents requiring the redeveloper to come from the Model Cities area. Attorneys representing the Atlanta Housing Authority and the Model Cities Mass Convention are in the process of preparing bid documents restricting the sale of urban renewal l and in the Model Cities area to area residents or organizations. The third concern expressed by the Model Cities Housing Committee was the complete rejection of the type of relocation housing units proposed by the Authority. These units, designed by an architect to provide maximum li veabi lity within the cost limitations and Federal guidelines, contained three bedrooms (two bedrooms �Page Four 8 feet by 8 fe_et, one bedroom 10 feet by 12 feet). The Housing Committee indic ate d that residents would rej ec t mobile ho1nes, and w ould insist on pre-fabricated modular units. Mr. Openshaw indicated th at the Housing Act of 1949 as amended prohibits the use of urban renew a l funds for the construction of structures, that HUD guidelines specifically limit relocation housing units to mobile homes built on a chassis, without permanent foundation, easily relocateable. Nonetheless the Housing Authority has agreed to explore with a residents' committee a lternative solutions related to temporary relocateable housing in the Model Cities Area. Mr. Openshaw stated that a P o licy Committee, a Relocation Committee and a Rehabilitation Committee, composed of repr es entatives of the Model Cities Agency, the Atlanta Housing Authority and th e Mass Convention, Inc., have been appointe d to seek solutions to the problems concerning rehabilitation, sale of l a nd, and relocation in the Model Cities area, and to permit the Atla nta Housing Authority to resume the 1969 NDP acti vi ties voluntarily halte d on Octob e r 17. Mr. Openshaw indicated that the two major problems confronting the Atla nta Housing Authority, the implementing agency for carrying out the 1969 NDP plans for the Model Cities area, . plans prepared by the Model Cities staff with complete resident involvement, are: 1. Conflict between the expressed desires of the residents and limitations of Federal regulations. 2. The NDP plan for 1969 and also 1970 we re approved by neighborhood residents as well as the Model Cities E xec utive Board without benefit of the recently activated Model Citi es Housing Committee's stated objectives. For example, the 1969 NDP plan for the Model Cities area designated four sites for permanent housing requiring the r e location . of 278 famili es , 77 individu a ls, and 10 business concerns, all to be relocated before rede ve lopment could take place on the specific sites invol ve d. To require mid- wa y through the cal endar year that acquisition of land and relocation of families b e discontinu e d until suitable relocatable housing is provide within the area is to introduce a valid c oncept, but one that will prevent the Authority from completing the NDP plan within the calendar year 1969. The 1970 NDP plans, prepared by four planning consultants with involvement of residents of the six Model Cities neighborhoods, require the relocation of 609 families during the calendar year 1970, with no vacant land includ ed in the acquisition program, nor funds for relocation housing. While the Housing Authority will make available for occupancy during 1970 over 2, 650 d we lling units for families of low and moderate income, these units are not loc ated w ithin the Model Cities area, hence the Housing Authority is once again placed in an impossible position of trying to carry out plans approved by the neighborhoods in conformance with objectives recently expressed of the Model Cities Housing Committee. �Page Five Mr. Openshaw indicated that the City's NDP application for 1970 is already 30 days overdue and that the application cannot be submitted to HUD until the situation in Model Cities is resolved. Mr. Openshaw stated that the stopping of all NDP activities in the Model Cities area becomes all the more acute when we consider the f a ct that unencumbered funds for cal~ndar year 19 6 9 must be return e d to W a shington for redistributed in the national program, and that Atlanta has been advis e d that Fed e ral funds for the 1970 NDP have been reduced to appro x imately 45. 9% of . the amount allocated for 1969. Mr. Jones asked if any substantial delay in the relocation and acquisition of sites in the Model Cities area wouldn't seriously jeopardize the City's "Bre a kthrough" application for which sites in the Mod e l C i ties area h a d be e n offered as priority prototype housing sites, to be cleared by January 1970? Mr. Open.shaw's r e ply was that this is true. Mr. Openshaw closed his comments with an optomistic note that h e hoped the difficulty with the Model Cities Housing Committee would be resolved over the we e kend and that activity in the Model Cities area could resume. Mr. Johnni e Johnson wa s then give n a n opportunity to comment a gain for Representative John Hood in rebutt a l of any of Mr . Openshaw' s remarks. Mr. Johnson explained th a t h e thou g ht th e sit u a tion h a d arisen throu g h l a c k of timely communication between a ll e lem e nts involved and e x pressed hopes of a compris e solution soon . Because of the time element involved, a more lengthy discussion w a s precluded. Mr. Padgett then ask e d both Mr . Johnson and Mr. Openshaw what the CACUR could do now to assist in resol v ing the matter? Both seemed to think tha t for the time being it would be be st to await further d e velopments. Col. Jones then presented Vice Cha irman Padg e tt with the Financial Statement for the period September 30 to October 30, 1969, which was read to the Committee. Col. Jones then read a Resolution e x pressing sympathy and condolences to the family and business associates (Atlanta Life Insurance Company) of the late CACUR member, E . M . Martin . The Resolution w as una minously adopted and will be sent to the family and busines s associa t es of the l a te E. M . Martin. The meeting wad adjourned at 3 :15 P . M.

Mr. Wright's presentation consisted primarily of a brochure, prepared in three components, which was passed out to those in attendance. The components were: (a) Satisfactory Community Environment; (b) Transportation; (c) Housing. Each component consisted of intemization of proposed projects for 1970; Proposed source of funding and brief statement as to purpose of each project but without any explanation as to the extent of each project, specific timing or priorities. Mr. Wright then offered to respond to questions. There were none, Mr. Rich suggested that since the presentation was on physical development that an annotated map showing proposed projects and their specific location would be helpful. Mr. Wright responded that he had such a map which any interested person could look at after the meeting. Since State Representative John Hood, Chairman of the Model Cities Housing Committee, did not attend the meeting, Mr. Padgett asked Mr. Johnnie Johnson, Director of Model Cities, to comment on the Model Cities Housing Committee views. Mr. Johnson stated substantially that the Housing Committee of the Model Cities area had expressed desires that the Atlanta Housing Authority take the following action immediately, so that the Model Cities program can proceed ina manner acceptable to the residents of Model Cities: l. That no relocation housing be brought into the Model Cities Area until it has been specifically approved (as to location, type of structures and size) by the Housing Committee. 2. That all activity of the Atlanta Housing Authority in the Model Cities Area - including acquisition of property, displacement of residents, and demolition of structures- except those activities in which the Atlanta Housing Authority has a legal obligation to proceed and from which a release cannot be obtained, be immediately stopped until the problem of relocation housing is resolved, 3, That the October 1, 1969, offering of the Atlanta Housing Authority for the sale and development of the C-4 Peoplestown site be immediately withdrawn. 4. That a Committee immediately be formed composed of representatives from the Atlanta Housing Authority, the Model Cities Agency and the Mass Convention, Inc, This Committee or its sub-committee to have the responsibility Page Three for working out a satisfactory relocation housing plan and an offer for the sale and development of the C-4 site and other land in the Model Cities area, The problem of relocation housing to be given the highest priority so that other activities of the Atlanta Housing Authority in the Model Cities area can be resumed as quickly as possible.

MINUTES OF THE CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR URBAN RENEVf AL Directors Room Trust Company of Georgia Building Friday, November 21, 1969 The regular Executive Committee meeting was called to order promptly at 2:15 P. M. by Chairman Noah Langdale. Those in attendance for the Executive Committee were: Messrs. A. B~ Padgett; Jack Carrollton (representing Mr . Bob Bivens); Henri Jova; Arth r Burks, Jr. (representing Mr. William VanLandingham); William L. Calloway; Edgar Schukraft; Joe C. Whitley and Miss Jean Cornn (representing Mr. Carlton Rochell); for the Housing Authority: Mr. Howard Openshaw; and for the Atlanta Planning Department: Mr. John Matthews. Three students from Georgia State University, Carolyn B. Clemons, Nannette Evans and Don Akin also attended the meeting. Agenda and copies of pertinent material used at the meeting are attached to the file copy of these minutes. Dr. Langdale opened the meeting by stating that Mayor-Elect Sam Mas sell and Vice-Mayor Elect Maynard Jackson had been invited to the meeting, but due to previous eng a g ements could not attend. Dr. Langdale stated that he was asked by Mr. Masseii and Ivir. Jackson Lo expr e ss their app:.::- eciation fo-::: b e ing inv it e d to the meeting and asked that they be invited to another meeting in the near future. Dr. Langdale also thanked Mr. A . B. Padgett, Vice-Chairman of CACUR, for his assistance in conducting the September and October meetings during his illness, and commended Mr. Padgett for a job well done. Dr. :...angdale then turned the meeting over to Malcolm Jones, Executive Director, CACUR. Mr. Jones stated that the Neighborhood Development Program (NDP) is a new terminology for Urban Renewal and that NDP is in smaller increments than Urban Renewal. He also stated that NDP applications are filed and funded annually, on the basis of what can be accomplished each year . Mr . Jones stated that if a City is to have a NDP program that it must have an appro ve d Wo r k a ble Program; that the C i ty 1 s past, pr e sent and future ac t ivities a r e taken into consideration before HUD will accept the applic a tion. M r. Jones t hen c a lled on Mr . John Matthew s of the Atlanta Planni ng D e par tm e nt t o c omm ent on the new HUD policy on New NDP P r ojects . �-2- Mr. Matthews stated substantially that about a month ago HUD announced a nation-wide cutback of funds for the Neighborhocd Development Program. This cutback in funds left Region III {includes Atlanta) with only $24, 000, 000 for 1970; and that Miami-Dade is scheduled to receive about half of all funds for Region III, thus leaving only $12,000,000 for the remaining five cities, including Atlanta; that because of this cutback, HUD officials have only recently informed Atlanta it will not permit any new NDP areas in the 1970 prog ram, which means that Plunkettown and Lightning cannot be include d in the 1970 NDP, becuas e HUD will not accept them. Mr. Matthews then stated that the Planning Department was not aware of this "no new areas" policy until late last week. Copies of letter from Assistant Regional Administrator for Renewal ·Assistance, Region III, stating the new policy, was distributed and copy is attached to the file copy of these minutes. Mr. Matthews also stated that the Planning Department had anticipated improved public services and a planning assistance program in Plunkettown; and that the initial effort was an Attitude Survey that was conducted in the area in early August; that the main point of the operations planned for Plunkettown now is to develop a NDP plan which will most effectively meet the needs of the residents. However, the major constraint of the program is that the site on which Plunkettown is located is considered {by the Planning Department) as unfit for re sidenti a l redevelopment. This unfitness is due to the surrounding land use (industry and the noise because of the airport); that for these reasons the area could not be econon~ically develop e d for low-incon~e housing. Because of the noise generated from the Airport, housing would have to be sqund proofed, but this would raise constr·uction cost considerably , thus pricing out the present residents; that FHA has stated that it could not insure houses in Plunkettown. Because of the cutback in funds and the "no new areas" policy, only private enterprise can develop housing on another site which can meet the needs of the residents and give them an opportunity of moving together and preserving their community. He explained that HUD has deve loped a new program called the Interm Assistance Program, which permits Federal assistance in several broad types of activities designed as a "holding action 11 until an area can be reached by NDP. The Planning Department was encouraged by Region III officials to develop such a program in Plunkettown and, working closely with the residents 1 Planning Committee, has developed such a program for the next year. Copies of the Interim Assistance Program Synopsis were distributed to each member in attendance and copy is attached to the file copy of these minutes. Mr. M a tth e ws conclude d by saying tha t Lightning has not b e en ove rlooke d, but b ec aus e of m a npow e r r estrictions, e fforts in Lightning have b een pha s e d a bout four months behind Plunkettown. �-3- Mr. Jones then called on Mr. Howard Openshaw, Director of Redevelopment for the Atlanta Housing Authority to present Atlanta's revised overall NDP Program for 1970. Mr. Openshaw preceded his scheduled presentation of the revised NDP program by commenting that some members of the Vine City Project Area Committee (PAC) had insisted he inform the Citizens Advisory Committee that Vine City PAC wants to designate its own representative on the CACUR; that the Vine City representative currently serving on CACUR is not a member of the Vine City Project Area Committee and therefore is not familiar with the program and cannot adequately represent PAC. (Editorial Note: The current Vine City representative is listed as a member of PAC on brochure recently prepared and distribute by Vine City PAC, but is not the Chairman of the Vine City PAC, who has previously been specifically requested by name for appointment to CACUR. All cur r-e nt members of CACUR were nominated by a Membership Committee, appointed by the Chairman, and have been individually appointed by the Mayor. No group in the past has arbitraily selected its own representative on CACUR.) Mr. Openshaw then stated that only $24, 000, 000 have been allocated by HUD for Region III, which includes Atlanta . Atlanta is scheduled to receive only about $7,500,000. Mr. Op enshaw stated that Atla nta had asked for 20. 7 million do llars. Mr. Openshaw stated that there are 26 scattered sites in Bedford-Pine which the City is to acquire in 1970 and 50 properties to rehabilitate in 1970. He also stated that Georgia Tech II area has to be cleared for extension of Georgia Tech during 1970. There are 15 vacant parcels to be bought in the Model Cities area, but that in only 4 out of the 6 areas could the City currently buy the vacant land. (This is because of protest by the Model Cities Housing Committee.) The completion of Ralph McGill Elementary School and the Martin Luther King Middle School are included in the Model Cities program for 1970. He continued that acquisition in the Georgia State area has to be cut back to only three properties of the eight originally requested and that one of these is in connection with construction of a viaduct by the City; that Vine City cannot acquire nearly all the properties desired by its PAC Committee; very little activity in Edgewood; and that only an Interim Assistance Program would be undertaken in Plunkettown and Lightning. Mr. Jones then called on Mr . A. B. Padgett to present a proposed Resolution by the CACUR . Mr. Padgett read the proposed Re solution informing the United State Departinent of Housing and Urban Development of the extre1ne disappointment of this Comm.ittee over announced cutback in Federal funding for the 1970 NDP; and pointing out the disasterous effect such extensive cutback will have on Atlanta 's Neighborhood Development Program, Community Participation and Citizen Moral in the affe~ted areas. Copies of this Resolution were distributed and a copy is attached to the file copy of these minutes. �-4- Mr. Padgett made a motion that _this Resolution be adopted and sent to the Secretary of HUD and the Regional Administrator, Region III, of HUD. Mr. Jack Carrollton seconded the motion, which was unaminously adopted. Mr. Jones then presented the Proposed Budget for 1970 of the CACUR. The total proposed budget for 1970 amounted to $4,725.00. Copy is attached to· the file copy of theses minutes. Mr. Padgett explained that, because the salaries of the Executive Director and the Secretary have now been absorbed by the City of Atlanta, as part of the Mayor's Office, that by agreement, only $3, 000 is to be allocated from the City of Atlanta, during 1970. Upon assurance to the Chairman by the Executive Director, that action on the Budget need not wait for a full membership meeting, a motion was made by Mr. Padgett that the Proposed Budg et for 1970 be adopted. The motion was seconded by Mr. Henri J ova and was unaminously adopted. Mr. Jones stated th a t HUD is well plea s e d with the C i tiz e ns Advisory Committee for Urban R e n e wal in its participa tion in Urban Renewal and NDP; tha t its activity and recommendations have influenced major decisions in Atlanta's participation in HUD assisted progr a ms. He stated also that HUD suggested the Citizens .

L. Calloway, as Chairman of an Ad Hoc Committee (additional members to be added later) to consider a name change for CACUR. Mr. Jones then introduced Mr. Walter Denero of the Model Cities staff to present the Proposed Public Information System for Model Cities. Mr. Denero stated that a Convention had been set-up in Model Cities to make the citizens aware of the problems .involved in the Model Cities program. He stated that a survey was taken of the residents in Model Cities and the results showed that the people do want this type of project; and that most of the residents were aware of Urban Renewal generally, but not familiar with many details involved in the NDP and that his proposed system is designed to make them more aware of these details and thereby better understand the entire program. Mr. Denero distributed a pamphlet on the Model Cities area entitled 11 A Beginning". (Copy is attached to the file copy of these minutes.) (Time did not permit Mr. Jones announcing that the Committee had received acknowledgement and thanks from the family of late CACUR member, Eugene Marcus Martin, for the Resolution of condolences and sympathy passed by the CACUR at its October meeting. ) The meeting v.1as adjourned at 3: 30 P .

Text Any textual data included in the document MINUTES OF THE CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR URBAN RENEWAL Directors Room Trust Company of Georgia Building Friday, November 21, 1969 The regular Executive Committee meeting was called to order promptly at 2:15 P. M. by Chairman Noah Langdale. Those in attendance for the Executive Committee were: Messrs, A. B. Padgett; Jack Carrollton (representing Mr. Bob Bivens); Henri Jova; Arth r Burks, Jr. (representing Mr. William VanLandingham); William L. Calloway; Edgar Schukraft; Joe C. Whitley and Miss Jean Cornn (representing Mr. Carlton Rochell); for the Housing Authority: Mr. Howard Openshaw; and for the Atlanta Planning Department: Mr. John Matthews. Three students from Georgia State University, Carolyn B. Clemons, Nannette Evans and Don Akin also attended the meeting. Agenda and copies of pertinent material used at the meeting are attached to the file copy of these minutes. Dr. Langdale opened the meeting by stating that Mayor-Elect Sam Massell and Vice-Mayor Elect Maynard Jackson had been invited to the meeting, but due to previous engagements could not attend. Dr. Langdale stated that he was asked by Mr. Massell and Mr, Jackson to express their appreciation for being invited to the meeting and asked that they be invited to another meeting in the near future, Dr. Langdale also thanked Mr. A. B. Padgett, Vice-Chairman of CACUR, for his assistance in conducting the September and October meetings during his illness, and commended Mr. Padgett for a job well done. Dr. Langdale then turned the meeting over to Malcolm Jones, Executive Director, CACUR. Mr. Jones stated that the Neighborhood Development Program (NDP) is a new terminology for Urban Renewal and that NDP is in smaller increments than Urban Renewal. He also stated that NDP applications are filed and funded annually, on the basis of what can be accomplished each year, Mr. Jones stated that if a City is to have a NDP program that it must have an approved Workable Program; that the City's past, present and future activities are taken into consideration before HUD will accept the application. Mr. Jones then called on Mr. John Matthews of the Atlanta Planning Department to comment on the new HUD policy on New NDP Projects. Mr. Matthews stated substantially that about a month ago HUD announced a nation-wide cutback of funds for the Neighborhocd Development Program. This cutback in funds left Region III (includes Atlanta) with only $24, 000, 000 for 1970; and that Miami-Dade is scheduled to receive about half of all funds for Region III, thus leaving only $12,000,000 for the remaining five cities, including Atlanta; that because of this cutback, HUD officials have only recently informed Atlanta it will not permit any new NDP areas in the 1970 program, which means that Plunkettown and Lightning cannot be included in the 1970 NDP, becuase HUD will not accept them. Mr. Matthews then stated that the Planning Department was not aware of this 'no new areas'' policy until late last week. Copies of letter from Assistant Regional Administrator for Renewal “Assistance, Region III, stating the new policy, was distributed and copy is attached to the file copy of these minutes. Mr. Matthews also stated that the Planning Department had anticipated improved public services and a planning assistance program in Plunkettown; and that the initial effort was an Attitude Survey that was conducted in the area in early August; that the main point of the operations planned for Plunkettown now is to develop a NDP plan which will most effectively meet the needs of the residents. However, the major constraint of the program is that the site on which Plunkettown is located is considered (by the Planning Department) as unfit for residential redevelopment. This unfitness is due to the surrounding land use (industry and the noise because of the airport); that for these reasons the area could not be economically developed for low-income housing. Because of the noise generated from the Airport, housing would have to be sound proofed, but this would raise construction cost considerably, thus pricing out the present residents; that FHA has stated that it could not insure houses in Plunkettown. Because of the cutback in funds and the ''no new areas" policy, only private enterprise can develop housing on another site which can meet the needs of the residents and give them an opportunity of moving together and preserving their community. He explained that HUD has developed a new program called the Interm Assistance Program, which permits Federal assistance in several broad types of activities designed as a "holding action'' until an area can be reached by NDP. The Planning Department was encouraged by Region III officials to develop such a program in Plunkettown and, working closely with the residents' Planning Committee, has developed such a program for the next year. Copies of the Interim Assistance Program Synopsis were distributed to each member in attendance and copy is attached to the file copy of these minutes. Mr. Matthews concluded by saying that Lightning has not been overlooked, but because of manpower restrictions, efforts in Lightning have been phased about four months behind Plunkettown. 5% Mr. Jones then called on Mr. Howard Openshaw, Director of Redevelopment for the Atlanta Housing Authority to present Atlanta's revised overall NDP Program for 1970. Mr. Openshaw preceded his scheduled presentation of the revised NDP program by commenting that some members of the Vine City Project Area Committee (PAC) had insisted he inform the Citizens Advisory Committee that Vine City PAC wants to designate its own representative on the CACUR; that the Vine City representative currently serving on CACUR is not a member of the Vine City Project Area Committee and therefore is not familiar with the program and cannot adequately represent PAC. : (Editorial Note: The current Vine City representative is listed as a member of PAC on brochure recently prepared and distribute by Vine City PAC, but is not the Chairman of the Vine City PAC, who has previously been specifically requested by name for appointment to CACUR. All current members of CACUR were nominated by a Membership Committee, appointed by the Chairman, and have been individually appointed by the Mayor. No group in the past has arbitraily selected its own representative on CACUR. ) Mr. Openshaw then stated that only $24, 000, 000 have been allocated by HUD for Region III, which includes Atlanta. Atlanta is scheduled to receive only about $7,500,000. Mr. Openshaw stated that Atlanta had asked for 20.7 million dollars, Mr. Openshaw stated that there are 26 scattered sites in Bedford-Pine which the City is to acquire in 1970 and 50 properties to rehabilitate in 1970. He also stated that Georgia Tech II area has to be cleared for extension of Georgia Tech during 1970. There are 15 vacant parcels to be bought in the Model Cities area, but that in only 4 out of the 6 areas could the City currently buy the vacant land. (This is because of protest by the Model Cities Housing Committee) The completion of Ralph McGill Elementary School and the Martin Luther King Middle School are included in the Model Cities program for 1970. He continued that acquisition in the Georgia State area has to be cut back to only three properties of the eight originally requested and that one of these is in connection with construction of a viaduct by the City; that Vine City cannot acquire nearly all the properties desired by its PAC Committee; very little activity in Edgewood; and that only an Interim Assistance Program would be undertaken in Plunkettown and Lightning. . Mr. Jones then called on Mr. A. B. Padgett to present a proposed Resolution by the CACUR. Mr. Padgett read the proposed Resolution informing the United State Department of Housing and Urban Development of the extreme disappointment of this Committee over announced cutback in Federal funding for the 1970 NDP; and pointing out the disasterous effect such extensive cutback will have on Atlanta's Neighborhood Develop- ment Program, Community Participation and Citizen Moral in the affected areas, Copies of this Resolution were distributed and a copy is attached to the file copy of these minutes, Mr. Padgett made a motion that this Resolution be adopted and sent to the Secretary of HUD and the Regional Administrator, Region III, of HUD. Mr. Jack Carrollton seconded the motion, which was unaminously adopted, Mr. Jones then presented the Proposed Budget for 1970 of the CACUR. The total proposed budget for 1970 amounted to $4,725.00. Copy is attached to the file copy of theses minutes. Mr. Padgett explained that, because the salaries of the Executive Director and the Secretary have now been absorbed by the City of Atlanta, as part of the Mayor's Office, that by agreement, only $3,000 is to be allocated from the City of Atlanta, during 1970.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Henri Jova and was unaminously adopted. Mr. Jones stated that HUD is well pleased with the Citizens Advisory Committee for Urban Renewal in its participation in Urban Renewal and NDP; that its activity and recommendations have influenced major decisions in Atlanta's participation in HUD assisted programs. He stated also that HUD suggested the Citizens Advisory Committee for Urban Renewal have a name change, in order to get away from the out dated limited Urban Renewal concept and so that the Committee could broaden its scope to include the entire spectrum of Community Improvement; that a HUD official had suggested that consideration be given to changing the name to "Citizens Advisory Committee for Community Improvement" or perhaps simply "Citizens Advisory Committee", Mr. Jones continued that HUD has an over riding policy of insuring citizen participation in its programs and insists that machinery be set up so that minority views can be heard and considered, but not to be used as a veto. Mr. Jones further stated that HUD suggested that the City of Atlanta needs a Central Coordinating Citizen Committee to consider and advise on many important matters, in addition to Urban Renewal and NDP; i.e., Open Space Grants, Water and Sewer Grants, City Beautification, Public Buildings, etc.; that currently many of these activities have a disjointed approach. He then passed out a HUD newsletter containing an announcement from Secretary of HUD, George Romney, that the Department of HUD is going to reorganize the whole department. Mr. Jones concluded by stating he had hoped to get a HUD representative to explain the reorganization to the Committee, but was informed that Secretary Romney's visit to Atlanta on November 20, to explain the reorganization to local HUD personnel did not permit enough time for HUD officials to digest the changes, but they would be glad to explain them at a later meeting; that HUD wants to be invited to our meetings, work with the Committee and be kept well informed. Chairman Langdale appointed Executive Committee member, W. L. Calloway, as Chairman of an Ad Hoc Committee (additional members to be added later) to consider a name change for CACUR. Mr. Jones then introduced Mr. Walter Denero of the Model Cities staff to present the Proposed Public Information System for Model Cities, Mr. Denero stated that a Convention had been set-up in Model Cities to make the citizens aware of the problems involved in the Model Cities program.

This statement was prepared from the ledger of the Citizens Advisory Committee for Urban Renewal and other pertinent data in the files of the Citizens Advisory Committee. SCOPE OF AUDIT . .All deposit records in the ledger were traced to the bank statements and verified. All checks issued during the period of January 1, 1968 and December 31, 1968 were accounted for. All cancelled checks were compared to invoices and/or valid endorsements, the ledger footings and ledger posting were tested for accuracy.
